God damnit. I got half way through writing this long quote and someone distracted me and i screwed up. I hate when this happens!!! It was looking pretty nice to... Oh well gonna start over.
The Earth "rose" because the spacecraft was traveling over the Moon's surface. An earthrise that might be witnessed from the surface of the Moon would be quite unlike moonrises on Earth. Because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, one side of the Moon always faces toward Earth. Interpretation of this fact would lead one to believe that the Earth's position is fixed on the lunar sky and no earthrises can occur; however, the Moon librates slightly, which causes the Earth to draw a Lissajous figure on the sky. This figure fits inside a rectangle 15°48' wide and 13°20' high (in angular dimensions), while the angular diameter of the Earth as seen from Moon is only about 2°. This means that earthrises are visible near the edge of the Earth-observable surface of the Moon (about 20% of the surface). Since a full libration cycle takes about 27 days, earthrises are very slow, and it takes about 48 hours for Earth to clear its diameter.[21] During the course of the month-long lunar orbit, an observer would additionally witness a succession of "Earth phases", much like the lunar phases seen from Earth. That is what accounts for the half-illuminated globe, the ashen glow, seen in the photograph.
I think im officially a 5:3:6 man from now on, this looks so much better.
Call me crazy but im kinda digging this 5:3:6 ratio im playing with too.
I have switched the style on my lowercase k and with that suddenly my #Copperplate (Italian Hand variant) finally looks nice. No matter what i did i never could get the style of the k to look right using its normal form.

Egytians, and more generally muslims, are by far some of the nicest people i ever met. I will admit their laws are oppressive and all, but they truly are caring people most of the time. The one guy that works at this hotel made me a special dinner to try to raise my spirits, he even went out of his way to track down some pasta. I cant eat even half of all this food but my god it was good.
Apparently "think of the children!" Is the current strategy to justify violating your privacy rights, its disgusting.
